(hdd) Micro-stutter since recent update

TurbineTurbine Join Date: 2012-09-13 Member: 159160Members
Recently I've been experiencing an extremely annoying pause whenever something is happening (eg person firing) and every few seconds. In MvM I experience it every 3 seconds for two whole seconds. All of my settings are on the lowest possible, to try and reduce these pauses.

When I create a 11gb ramdisk for NS2, the game runs fine. The game only uses 1.3gb of my ram max, and I have another 14gb free.

There must be a bug in the pre-caching. I've tried it on both of the hdd's in this machine.

    We're aware of this, there are as few things in the next patch (267) that should hopefully help you with this issue.

    Cheers!

    Would you be able to share any in-side knowledge of which week it may appear?

    Thanks, by the way.

    My heart, that's one way to frighten me. Looks like a new Kharaa life-form to me.

    That is confusing stuff there, but his made more sense than that. If you didn't catch it I think he is talking about 5 second terms with 3 seconds of good and 2 seconds of bad.
